Sorry, I didn't re-read your original message. Well, this is not  
possible with sieve, but at least with procmail, you can pipe messages  
to external (shell) scripts. Such a script could extract the iCalendar  
information from the message and automatically accept the invitation.  
But that needs some programming work.
